Most recently, not grabbing the Galactic Heroes reissue of the Falcon, not buying the BMF...and selling off all my Justice League figures...that's the worst. :(

Regretting not bidding on the RAH Spawn last week that was going for only $50 (no one bid) It's been relisted and it's going for over $75 now. :(

One time I won a NECA Freddy vs. Jason set loose on eBay. Freddy was massively oversized, and it bugged me so much I sold the set on eBay.

I regret selling my old figures when I was a kid, like my JP collection, Toonimation's Ghostbusters, the other Ghostbusters and much more like it.

I regretted buying RAH Spawn when it first came out. Seeing as I was gonna move, I left him in the box but for a looonng time. By the time I finally took him out to display, like a week after I saw him for 75 bucks.

Gazelle the Peacemaker. He fell epically short of the other Trigun/gungrave figures. I miss the 20 bones I spent on him.

Man, I hate that crap. That doesn't even make sense!!!! I was looking at a rifle out at gun broker and the guy couldn't sell the thing for 800, so he relisted it for 1000 WTH?

If you can't sell it for the original price...it would only make sense for it to GO DOWN! Maybe they think they can trick people into thinking it's better quality with a higher price?

i regret only two things in life. i won't go into the first, though. the second, however, was back when i was in college. transformers: energon was just kicking off and i stumbled across the energon ultra magnus at target. at the time, i wasn't completely interested at didn't have the cash. i was there later in the week and they still had a few left. i decided i wanted him, but needed to wait a few days so i could get the cash. when i finally had it, he was gone. i never saw him in a store again. in 2007, i finally was able to get him on ebay for a semi-decent price, but i still kick myself for not buying him back then. i should've used my credit card

Hahaha! Actually, it wasn't she-shrek. There's a poster that has a dude slow dancing/hugging with a fat chick at a party, clearly drunk. It went with what Bulldozer posted up there.

I would break the interwebs if I posted them all and then I'd have to regret that too. Hobby wise the list is long, just recently I had to pass up an original Luke and Leia 12" in pristine boxes at a local goodwill. They were in awesome condition but I didn't push to get the money together for them. $200 each but they sell for $800+ each at brians.

if you're an MIB collector then I would say, "yes," but if you're an opener then I would say you saved yourself some frustrations. That thing's a flopper. I know a stand would fix that problem, but it shouldn't need one.

You scare me sometimes.
I regret alot of things, but few of them deal with toys or action figures. Not buying the Falcon when I found it for undr $100 has to be one of them. Not buying Solidus Snake from the TMP MGS2 line when I saw it for $15 at a comic shop. Not buying ALOT of the ML figures when they were at retail (although not all of that was my fault). Hence why I'm getting all the DC stuff I like now, so I don't have to go looking for it later. Still have to look for some of those that I missed anyway too.

In terms of collecting, I don't have any purchasing regrets that keep me up at night. There were figures I passed-up on that still induce a face-palm, though. Like this one time at my local KB Toys, there was a whole mess of 1988 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures, for about two bucks a piece. And I didn't buy a one. Gah, bad Sybilian. Also, I once passed up on a Living Dead Dolls: Fashion Victims Sybil, on sale no less. That particular regret gave me my screen name. And lastly, the Monty Python plush albatross. Albatross!
